<div class="bbWrapper">Greetings!<br /> <br /> My name is Michael. I am a recent Bachelor of Life Sciences degree recipient at a Canadian University. Unfortunately, I lost the passion I once had for the subject so I currently don&#039;t plan on pursuing anything in the scientific field.<br /> <br /> I recently finished reading Millionaire Fastlane and I am about a quarter of the way through UNSCRIPTED. These books have been eye-openers for me and I thank MJ for creating those books and this forum.<br /> <br /> I have been looking around the forum for the past week or so and I am absolutely blown away by the amount of support and success found throughout this forum. I want to start my path to a happier future I thought I would start by simply introducing myself, so here I am!<br /> <br /> I will be honest, there seem to be so many different paths I could take in terms of entrepreneurial ventures that it&#039;s a bit overwhelming and I am not sure where to start. I don&#039;t expect things to change instantly and I know that there is a lot of hard work and hardship ahead.<br /> <br /> With that being said, do any of you have any suggestions as to where I should put my focus? I know this is a very broad question to ask; however, that encapsulates where my mind is at. I lack direction. I have looked into local lead generation and web development, I feel I have skills with tech that give me an easier start but that is about it.<br /> <br /> Thanks for reading! I look forward learning and growing.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Welcome aboard. We all been there. Let me ask you a question...did you ever encounter a problem in your life that you said to yourself “wow, this really sucks.?” <br /> <br /> There are all sorts of ways to go about it. Some say, solve a problem. I personally agree but that problem has to be directly tied to your emotion in solving it. <br /> <br /> Look at Branson, he focuses on consumer services. Every single business he’s started or invested in were focused on providing a better experience for the consumer than what’s out there. Not necessarily a problem but more of a moment where he knew he could do it better. <br /> <br /> So if you read the book, you’ll already know to throw your passions and all of that other bullshit out the window. Open your eyes into the world and see things from a frustrated consumers side. <br /> <br /> Forget all this online stuff - “oh I want to be a digital nomad” It’s garbage bro. You’re being sold to. Find a real problem or poor way of Doing something (which actually could be online too) in the world you are living in and just do it better.<br /> <br /> That’s where you start. Just open your eyes and give it time.</div>

If you do what MJ says in UNSCRIPTED you can start a business doing exact the opposite from what this gurus want to teach you. Instead of searching on alibaba for products you have to do something with a higher <br /> c-entry-n-t-s.</div>

I know a lot of the progress to be made is about altering my mindset and switching from a consumer to a producer. Additionally, I know it is important to truly care about providing value.<br /> <br /> What you said about digital nomad was one what I desired to do but upon thinking about how my life would be, I realized that wouldn&#039;t necessarily make me happy. I think it is important for me to identify the intersection between happiness, productivity, and wealth.<br /> <br /> Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk</div>

I hope to finish the book soon and utilize the guidance MJ provided in both books. I feel there is a vast amount of opportunities but that sometimes feels overwhelming and difficult to find a starting point.<br /> <br /> Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Welcome to the forum.<br /> <br /> My best advice is to read between the lines in the success stories of all the people here. Focus more on the how and why, than the what.<br /> <br /> It&#039;s not important that some folks have found success in one particular thing... copywriting, web design, digital marketing, ecommerce... What&#039;s important is that you pick an avenue that relies on and is augmented by your natural talents, aptitudes, and interests. <br /> <br /> Find the intersection of those three things with a market need, and you&#039;ll have a reasonable path to tread. <br /> <br /> If you simply follow in the footsteps of others here, you&#039;ll end up walking in circles.</div>
